He wasn't an easy middle school student! Presented a challenge from
the first walk into the class announcing that he saw no use for art
class and it was a waste of his time. In the beginning he was
determined to get himself kicked out of my class and to quote him "...
to take the rest of the class with me." My response was "If this is a
challenge to show the value of this art class I accepted your
challenge!"

The rest of the success story can be found in the NAEA publication The
Flower Teachers.
